The Kavanaugh debacle may have stirred up memories of the treatment of Clarence Thomas, which was extremely distasteful to most black Americans.

Most black Americans were on Anita Hill's side, because Clarence Thomas was viewed by them as a traitor to his race.

That is the fate of most blacks who've jumped ship from the liberals to the conservatives.

My recollection for that time was that polls showed a large majority of American blacks favored Thomas’s confirmation and felt he was being singled out because of his race. I don’t recall any polls on Anita Hill, but people react to individuals based on how that person makes them feel and Anita Hill definitely gave me (anyway) the feel of a sleazy, vindictive cheap shot artist.
